- jamra 12y agoAs long as the laws continue to adapt in order to protect people from discrimination, we are on the right track.

One could argue that this is just the set of trade-offs that the US has made for itself, but the real-world results are looking grim.

- jamra 12y agoObama has done great things with healthcare. If Congress was not so deadlocked, he would have done more. So far, he got rid of the denial of service due to preexisting conditions. He started a government run program, which will greatly reduce prices in the long term. HIPAA laws protect patient rights very well. I think we are on the right track.
